Supplied Mateo is up for adoption through Manitoba Great Pyrenees Rescue.

Breed: Husky/Malamute cross

Size: Large

Time in care: Eight months

Mateo came into the care of Manitoba Great Pyrenees Rescue with his canine brother Harley (who has since been adopted) from a community in Saskatchewan.

They were thin and unaltered when they first arrived. Mateo was a very shy boy and would avoid people, always having Harley do the greetings. It took months for him to feel comfortable and trust people.

He stayed with Sonia, the rescue’s founder and director, for many months and now has transitioned into a foster home. He’s doing amazingly well.

Mateo enjoys companionship with other dogs, is good with cats and is thoroughly enjoying car rides now.

He’s very active and enjoys a great walk, running and has even done some bike-joring. He loves getting his belly scratched and enjoys his treats. He has also been great at the groomers.

Mateo would make a great companion and requires a secure, fenced-in yard.

Those interested in meeting Mateo can fill out an application at mgpr.weebly.com. All the dogs (and cats) in the care of Manitoba Great Pyrenees Rescue are homed in private residences until they find their forever homes. A home visit with a rescue volunteer is one of the final steps of the application process.

Pimicikamak lockdown lifted after fatal shooting

Malak Abas 2 minute read Yesterday at 3:28 PM CDT

Pimicikamak Cree Nation Chief David Monias said an arrest has been made and the community-wide lockdown has now been lifted after a shooting Friday that left one person dead.

RCMP were called by local First Nations Safety Officers about a seriously injured person at around 9:30 p.m. Friday on Main Road in Pimicikamak Cree Nation. Officers found two men at the scene. A 42-year-old man with a gunshot wound died at the scene. The other person was not injured.

The community went into immediate lockdown as the RCMP sought the suspect. An advisory posted by Monias Saturday had asked residents to stay inside their homes, lock doors and windows, keep children inside and not to open their doors to anyone they did not know.

In a statement on social media Sunday afternoon, Monias said the RCMP had arrested one person.

Stampeding to Starlette’s

David Sanderson 7 minute read Saturday, Aug. 1, 2026

ELMA — Build it and they will come.

Lee and Star Giesbrecht are the owners of Starlette’s Burger Saloon, a western-themed, outdoor eating spot situated on the married couple’s 40-acre spread, immediately north of Elma.

Seated at one of a half-dozen picnic tables that dot the grounds, Star recalls a conversation she and Lee had prior to the May 2025 grand opening of their locale, which, with its weathered-wood exterior and rustic swinging doors, wouldn’t look out of place in an episode of Yellowstone.

Because they are “literally in the middle of nowhere,” Star says Lee thought it would be advantageous to mount a TV in one corner of the kitchen, for those occasions when they’d be twiddling their thumbs for hours on end, with little to do.

WestJet and CUPE reach tentative agreement, ending job action, flight disruptions

The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: 9:26 AM CDT

CALGARY - WestJet and the union representing about 4,400 flight attendants reached a tentative contract agreement early Monday morning, ending a job action that halted flights across the country and left many travellers in limbo.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees said in a news release that the tentative agreement will be presented to its members for a ratification vote. In the meantime, both the union's strike notice and the company's lockout notice were being withdrawn and flight attendants would return to work.

"This tentative agreement represents meaningful progress," said Alia Hussain, president of CUPE local 8125, in the release, adding that the draft deal recognizes "more of the work cabin crew are required to perform and with general increases to compensation for that work."

"Most importantly, this agreement was achieved through collective bargaining at the negotiating table," Hussain said.

Lewis says he won’t run for office until the NDP is ‘ready’ for a general election

David Baxter, The Canadian Press 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 10:52 AM CDT

MONTREAL - Four months into the job, NDP Leader Avi Lewis is still in no rush.

Since winning the leadership of a party knocked to its knees in the 2025 federal election, Lewis has maintained his immediate priority is preparing the NDP for an election — not winning a seat in the House of Commons. Multiple byelections are set to take place before the end of the year; Lewis will be door-knocking with candidates in those ridings but won’t be on the ballot himself.

“I think there will be a point in the next year where I feel we're election-ready across the country. We want to run serious campaigns everywhere,” Lewis said in a recent interview in Montreal’s Plateau neighbourhood.

“We're in a position as a party on the rebound where I can't just pursue a seat at all costs. So I do need a litmus test for when is it time for me to get in there? And that's going be either in the next election or the run-up to the next election, once we are election-ready.”

Brighter days ahead after Camp Arnes

Joshua Frey-Sam 5 minute read Saturday, Aug. 1, 2026

Keishna Abenstein remembers what it was like to be a teenager who was stuck in her shell.

She also recalls how much going to summer camp at Camp Arnes helped her spread her wings.

Abenstein has watched her middle child, Teagen, go through a similar roller-coaster as a teenager. Teagen, described as a social butterfly in his childhood, has become a bit more reserved in his adolescence after many of his closest elementary school friends went to a different middle school, forcing him to make new friends as he began the next chapter of his education.

Abenstein saw an opportunity for a similar experience at Camp Arnes that could impact her son the same way it did for her.
